I have had curroption with reiserfs, xfs, and MAYBE ext3. With reiserfs and xfs it was clear as I would get mass currpotion such that I had to besically start from scratch. So I moved to ext3 and things were running fine until my /boot got hosed. Now I have not narrowed it to whether it was ext3 fault or not ( I am guessing not). But in general, ext2 was rock solid and never had problems. Sure I would get curroption here and there, but not on whole scale such that a new install was necesarry. I really like ext3.
